Presents mathematical furmulas and theorems common to economics and applied mathematics. It serves as an excellent reference for students and professionals.
This volume presents mathematical formulas and theorems commonly used in economics. It offers the first grouping of this material for a specifically economist audience, and it includes formulas like Roy’s identity and Leibniz's rule.
Knut Sydsaeter/Peter Hammond Essential Mathematics for Economic Analysis """Essential Mathematics for Economic Analysis"provides an invaluable introduction to mathematical analysis for economists and students from other social science backgrounds taking a general course in mathematics. The coverage is comprehensive, ranging from elementary algebra to more advanced material, whilst focusing on all the core topics usually taught in undergraduate courses on mathematics for economists. FEATURES An intelligent approach to teaching mathematics, based on years of experience. The book has mathematical rigour and a strong focus on mathematical reasoning. Large selection of worked examples throughout the book. These are not just specific to economics, as most topics are first dealt with from a purely mathematical point of view before providing economic insight. Large number of problems for students to solve. Answers to odd-numbered questions included in the back of the book. The book is primarily intended for undergraduate courses in Mathematics for Economists at first and second year level. Students are expected to have completed A-Level mathematics, or at least a preliminary course. However, there is considerable coverage of basic material in early revision or 'catch-up' chapters. The book is also appropriate for students of other social sciences who are taking a general mathematics course. Knut Sydsaeterhas been a Professor of Mathematics in the Economics Department at the University of Oslo since 1985, and has extensive experience in teaching mathematics for economists. In addition to his teaching at Oslo University (since 1965), hehas given graduate courses in dynamic optimization at Yale, Berkeley, and Gothenborg. He has written and co-authored a number of books, of which several have been translated into many languages. Peter Hammondhas been a Professor of Economics at Stanford University since 1979, and earlier had the same position at the University of Essex. He completed a BA in Mathematics and a PhD in Economics at Cambridge University. He has been an editor of the "Review of Economic Studies," and of the Econometric Society Monograph Series, and is currently on the editorial boards of "Social Choice and Welfare "and of the "Journal of Public Economic Theory.
The book is written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of economics who have a basic undergraduate course in calculus and linear algebra. It presents most of the mathematical tools they will encounter in their advanced courses in economics. It is also suited for self-study because of the answers it offers to problems throughout the book.

The practice of economics requires a wide ranging knowledge of formulas from math ematics and mathematical economics. The selection of results from mathematics included in handbooks for chemistry and physics ill suits economists. There is no concise reporting of results in economics. With this volume, we hope to present a formulary, targeted to the needs of students as weIl as the working economist. It grew out of a collection of mathematical formulas for economists originally made by Professor B. Thalberg and used for many years by Scandinavian students and economists. The formulary has 32 chapters, covering calculus and other often used mathemat ics; programming and optimization theory; economic theory of the consumer and the firm; risk, finance, and growth theory; non-cooperative game theory; and elementary statistical theory. The book contains just the formulas and the minimum commcntary needed to re-learn the mathematics involved. We have endeavored to state theorems at the level of generality economists might find useful. By and large, we state results for n-dimensional Euclidean space, even when the results are more generally true. In contrast to thc economic maxim, "everything is twice more continuously differentiable than it needs to be", we have listed the regularity conditions for theorems to be true. We hope that we have achieved a level of explication that is accurate and useful without being pedantic.

This highly-successful manual is the first to present in one volume all of the mathematical formulas and theorems commonly used by economists. It will be helpful to economists, researchers, and students who are in need of exact statements of mathematical results. The third edition has been extensively revised and contains more than 250 new formulas, as well as many new figures. This comprehensive manual will be indispensable to economists at all levels.
